Flying prawn tails across the First-Class cabin, spilling red wine over a high value customer and 300 economy class meals ruined just after take-off. These are just some of the first day blunders revealed in today's episode.
Plus - there are all sorts of reasons that a piece of checked luggage might be offloaded before departure... and a vibrating bag though? Indeed - so if it wasn't a toothbrush going off inside, what was it that caused our baggage handler to turn bright red with embarrassment? -
We get into cars pretty much every day and put our seatbelts on without even thinking, but why when travelling by air do we act like it's more of a hinderance to wear one?
And Uniforms - not everyone is the same age, height or body structure, but airline uniforms need to be comfortable, durable and most importantly represent an airline's brand. Wearing a uniform takes out the stress of what to wear but what happens when airline crew have a uniform malfunction right at the start of their shift? -
Airline Employees are like comedians. Some thrive on passengers who choose to be the hecklers. We discuss some of the most amusing encounters we've witnessed.
And "The Lounge" - what's it really like to be an exclusive airline club member? -

What does it take to land that prestigious job as an International Flight Attendant for a leading airline? Mayday Millie tells us what we can expect from selection, interview process to the 8-weeks of intensive training to finally get on the roster.
We also discuss the perks of Staff Travel benefits - flying Business Class (sometimes First Class) all over the world on your vacation, for a fraction of the cost! How does it all work and how cheap is it really? Simon and Mayday share their own experiences of when it didn't all go to plan. -

Is economy class really as bad we think?
Are we becoming image snobs at the mere thought of entering the Y-class cabin, or are we simply happy to accept our seat at the back of the bus in return for the cost saving... allowing us to spend more cash on the ground at our destination?
And how do you deal with sleep on a long-haul?
Find out how the crew deal with passengers who snore so loud that holding a conversation at the opposite end of the cabin is near impossible. -
Whether you're going away for a few days or a few months, the decision on what to pack and how much to pack in your cabin bag can quite a stressful part of your flying regime.
Why is it that so many of us still break the rules particularly when it comes to size, weight and the number of items we're permitted to take on board with us? Is it the thrill of getting away with something naughty? Or, simply for our own selfishness that we choose to ignore the rules?
Are you a plane food fanatic or do you dread the moment you lift that foil cover to reveal what’s hiding underneath? We discuss aircraft meals and how they've become an integral part of an airline's desire to compete for your loyalty.
Mayday Millie and Simon Bennett are watching everything that goes on in the air… as well as that little bit that happens on the side.
Next week...Sleep and our guide to surviving Economy Class.

We kick off this series with a drink…
You know how good that first drink always tastes when you're buckled in to your allocated seat... and it really doesn't matter whether you're on a business trip or about to start or finish your vacation, it still tastes great doesn't it?
But then there are those of us who just take that "free bar" at 38,000 feet just a little bit too far. I hope that wasn't you on one of our recent flights, you're lukcy we couldn't remember your name today! You must have had a terrible headache after landing.
We also talk celebrities in this episode. Who have we had the pleasure of bumping into on our flights over the years? More recently for us, it's been Lionel Richie and Michael Bublé and we'll tell you all about those two encounters right here.You mark our words; we’re watching everything that goes on in the air… as well as that little bit that happens on the side.
Next week...Cabin Baggage and Airline Food.
